Re: Stanley Drucker's Sound

Dear Dennis Joseph,

You would be the person to ask. So when you are up close to Mr. Drucker, does that sound have any unusual characteristics to it such as, lots of air, or some sort of pulsing? I have heard players in the category of "hard to record" describe their sound as "spinning out."

The other issue with the live vs recording is the one of vibrato. I know that Mr. Drucker had said in some context (forgot if it was a recorded interview or print) that he does not use vibrato. And yet in many recordings it sure sounds like it.

To add to the mystery (for me), when I saw his performances of the Brahms Quintet, Berio Domains and the Mendelssohn duet, he did not move around a lot (of course typical of most US players) such as bobbing or weaving so that cannot be a factor.

I really do want to understand the phenomenon better.

One thing is for sure, NO clarinet records the way it sound in person. The clarinet is more of a "boundary" than it is a point source like trumpet. Microphones cannot do it justice.
